I have been here at Maidstone Angling Centre since 1990 but have been in the trade since I was 'little bait boy' back in 1985 at another shop.

I became hooked on fishing at the young age of 6 and a quarter on the River Cam on holiday. I now consider myself at the age of 40 to be nearly an adult. I have tried almost every discipline of fishing and had a serious crack at most of them but like many of you, my true passion still has to be carp fishing..

I massively enjoy working alongside my colleagues in the tackle industry. It is so rewarding to see people enjoying their hobby and seeing that they have the same passion for it as myself. I simply cannot imagine that any other job would provide me with the same rewards as this pastime does.
